Mentoring Through Modeling

Acts 1:1 is the basic principle of mentoring that Jesus did andtaught. Jesus did in advance what to teach him, then later Jesustaught. Why is this principle is very effective in the Kingdom of God? Because by looking at examples of what we teach, people can do it more easily.

It would be easier to teach someone how to operate a newlypurchased computer by giving examples of direct, rather than himreading the instructions of the manuals! Or teach someone how toswim by giving examples directly in the pool than swimming in theclassroom gives the theory.

Jesus taught these principles to his disciples; where the studentsreport what they do and teach (Matthew 6:30) Therefore beexemplary, so that Christianity is more easily done as a way of lifeby applying the Word in our daily lives -day.


When the Word declared themselves the world in a rescuemission, the Word is not a sermon, but first the Word became flesh and dwelt among men (John 1:14). Word did not become amempesonah oration, but the real action. That's why, "he taught them as people in power, not like their scribes" (Matthew 7:29) Forthe scribes did not do what they teach.
